About Sally

Sally Humphries is a counsellor with 22 years of experience offering calm, steady support for people facing anxiety, stress, panic attacks and related concerns. She aims to build a straightforward, non-judgemental connection so people can talk about what feels hard and get practical help to manage day-to-day life.

She works in a warm, person-focused way that values honesty and empathy. Sessions centre on the client's experience and what matters to them. That approach is intended to help people feel heard and understood as they consider next steps.

Humphries describes herself as a fellow traveller alongside each client. She stays alongside people for as long as they want, listening to their story and helping them find ways to cope and make decisions. Many clients have found this steady presence useful when facing big life changes.

Her practice includes support for relationship and family concerns, grief and bereavement, depression, and work-related stress. She also has experience working with people on the autistic spectrum and those affected by a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

Sally is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Her style is simple and human - she aims to help people move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more in control.

How Sally’s client-centred approach works online

Sally uses client-centred counselling which puts the person and their experience at the heart of each session. That means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people make sense of their feelings. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, panic attacks, grief and relationship issues because it focuses on creating understanding and acceptance.

In practice, sessions focus on what the client wants to work on. The therapist and client decide together how to proceed, trying different ways of working if needed. This collaborative method helps shape goals and keeps therapy relevant to the person’s life and priorities.

If you are considering online work, check the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can also use online meetings to maintain a steady therapeutic relationship while people manage the practical demands of everyday life.
